Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother”—this is the first commandment with a promise: “so that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the disciplineContinue reading “provoke”
despise
“Take care that you do not despise one of these little ones; for, I tell you, in heaven their angels continually see the face of my Father in heaven. What do you think?

Salt and Light
“You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored?
